The Big Red Cobcast is an irreverent Nebraska Cornhusker Football podcast hosted by Nebraska bred comedians. It's the funniest thing to happen for Nebraska since we made Spurrier cry. Pat janssen is the nerd, Joe Canale is the stoner and Tweedy is the dope ass, cool guy. Well, now you know who we are. So let's do it to it. Please follow us on Twitter (@bigredcobcast) for all of our hot takes, sweet jokes and fan favorites like #WistromWednesday, as well as some analysis and interviews with former stars, coaches and whoever the hell else we feel like talking to. And most importantly - GBR baby!

    A week after discussing the national media perception with national outlets, we decided to bring on someone with a unique perspective -- Mitch Sherman. Mitch is a local guy working in national media. He's covered the Huskers since '93 when he was a college student at UNL. We talked about his evolution as a media member, the things he's seen covering the Huskers, and how he feels about the perception of Nebraska from his national colleagues.

Both have been frequent critics of Nebraska's response to the Big Ten cancelling fall sports, so the Cobcast fellas decided to bring them on for a chat. How excited were they to talk to the Cobcast? You can judge that for yourself. They were probably just disappointed that they didn't get to talk to Tweedy. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
